Seven menhave played the character, so we asked our Unconventional Panel to weigh in on James Bond actors from the past and future.

Today's panel consisted ofWest Canadian Industries CEO GeorgeBrookman, Wordfest directorShelley YoungblutandCalgary actor, comedian and improvisor AndrewPhung.

Who was the best 007?

George:"Only Sean Connery.When I put the top down on my little Volkswagon I am Sean Connery."

Shelly: "You love your first Bond, and my first Bond was Roger Moore... And Live and Let Die is one of the greatest movies of all time, including the great leap over the crocodiles."

Andrew: "I'm surprised you said it! Roger Moore was the best Bond.... Those who love Sean Connery will argue you until the end."

"I felt like Pierce Bronson and Timothy Dalton werethese weird kindaclone Bonds that we put together and made. So when you were watching it, you never really felt like there was an actor putting their own spin on the character."

Who should be the next Bond?

Shelly:"Idris Elba, the British actor who we all love from the Wire.... Deadly, deadly handsome.... He's just so seriously sexy."

Andrew: "Put a woman in the role. Bond is a style. Bond is not a gender or an ethnicity. Bond is a style."

George: "It cannot be a woman! Jaime Bond? No!"
